What is the true measure of success?

These goals are what FOX clinicians fight for—to help older and aging adults live better, longer. Check out some of our patient success stories to see how achieving optimal function can create the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

    Anthony Hubbuch, 81

    “Shout-out to Janet Goodman, Fitness Specialist with FOX Rehabilitation for how she helps me with balance, strength, and endurance. I can walk better to the dining room and walk my dog, feeling more confident in my balance and endurance. I do not feel I need to grip my rollator as much as I did before when walking in the community. I am also able to stand from chairs easier than I was before working with Janet.”

    Robert "Dr. Bob" Shulze, Jr., 80

    Dr. Bob, as he prefers to be called, was quite a challenge when he first joined the wellness program in September. Despite the initial difficulties, we’ve had great success, and he’s decided to extend the program for another 10 sessions.

    His son, Derek, sent a thoughtful email when they chose to continue: “Keep up the great work with our father...we recognize he is a challenge, but appreciate all of your hard work with him!”

    Hope Katz, 67

    Hope’s goal in therapy was to speak louder and clearer with friends and family. With a lot of hard work, she began to think outside of the everyday, becoming more confident in her ability to communicate loudly and clearly. When Hope volunteered to give a toast at a friend’s birthday party, she wrote the speech, and we practiced using strategies for improved volume and intelligibility. She gave her toast in a crowded room without a microphone, and she did GREAT! She told me she received a lot of positive feedback about being heard and understood. She says her success speaking in public has motivated her to be more engaged in conversation, no matter the setting!

    Patrick McMenamin, 93

    Patrick experienced a stroke that resulted in right-sided weakness in his arm and leg, as well as difficulty with transfers, mobility, swallowing, and speech. After months of intensive rehabilitation, he has made significant progress. Patrick regained function in his right hand, allowing him to eat, dress, and play Bingo more independently. He also built notable strength in his right leg and progressed to taking steps with a walker. Patrick achieved several important goals, including eating safely, telling stories about his experiences in Ireland and El Salvador, and recalling his fellow residents' names. He is proud to return to the activities he loves most and continues to work hard toward achieving all of his goals.

    Frank Bosworth

    Before Wellness, Frank was unable to maintain the upright posture in the birddog and was unable to complete a knee push up even when doing these movements separately. After working to build his posterior chain and core strength, he is able to engage his spinal erectors and abdomen to hold the upright birddog position despite being off balance. In addition to this, he has gained upper body strength resulting in him completing three times the repetitions in knee pushups.
